Halo 3: Power Weapons Respawn Timer

Now you can play like a pro, without paying a coach!

######History

I made this while I played Halo 3 around 2008/2009. Why?

1. I needed better control of power weapons during matches
2. I wanted to start learning C

• This was probably my first C program (besides a Hello World)

It was done quickly and dirty. It's pretty shitty but it did its job.
